Looks insane. I'm not 100% on the color, but let's see it all.

I might have gone gunmetal, which is likely what I'll do. Do you have the setup for these wheels? Any chance you'll share?

Hey @dinoone, Do yourself a favor and call Race Technologies. Ask for Barry

You have the rotors on backwards!

Which direction should the discs rotate? | Race Technologies | Brembo Official Partner

It is a popular misconception that the slots or drillings in a disc determine the direction of rotation. In truth, for an internally vented disc, the geometry of the vanes dictates the direction of rotation.
There are three vane types in use:

•Straight
•Pillar vane (comprised of many small posts)
•Curved vane

The first two vane types are non-directional, and can be used on either side of the vehicle.

The curved vane disc, however, is directional.

A curved vane disc must be installed with the vanes running back from the inside to outside diameters in the direction of rotation.
Orienting the disc in this manner creates a centrifugal pump.
The rotation of the disc causes air to be pumped from the center of the disc, through the vanes, and out through the outside diameter of the disc.
This greatly enhances the disc's ability to dissipate heat.

Additionally, all of Brembo's slotted discs are directional as well, regardless of the vane geometry.
The discs should be installed such that the end of the slot nearest the outer edge of the disc contacts the pad first.

They should be facing like this:

Also I liked the Pagid brake pads the best, it produced the least brake dust. They are pricey though.

Thanks man. There was no installation instructions so we googled photos of installation on another F150 and that's the direction they are going so we followed suit.
Going to give them a call in the AM thanks again

That's my Tahoe, I had those Bembos on both my wife's 4Dr and my 2Dr.
For many years.

Replaced rotors and pads every two years, I got good at it.

Also you have to do the burn in procedure ( brake pad bedding ), I cannot stress this enough you can warp the rotors right away if you had to do a panic stop

We looked at the vanes in the rotors they are correct according to the article.

Please let me know the bedding process

Most of what you need is on the website at Race Technologies.

And I do not have the red Brembo install manual any longer, when I sold my 2Dr Tahoe I gave the manual to him.

Baer instructions, this should help

MTF · Mar 6, 2017

Fantastic that's what I've been looking for, Thank You BajaFred

I just used Bing instead of Google and found a old Brembo install instruction.
